Arts and Crafts family home with Morris & Co. interiors, set in a beautiful hillside garden
From Sat 23 Nov, we'll be welcoming you to a Beale family Christmas here with the house decorated for festive celebrations in the 1930s. There is plenty to see with this year's Winter Tree designed and created by NEON and hear stories from Woodland Santa in his grotto.
James and Margaret Beale chose an idyllic location with views across the Sussex countryside for their rural retreat. Designed by Philip Webb, the house is one of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts workmanship, with Morris & Co. interiors creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The house is dressed for a weekend stay in 1925, so you can imagine you are a guest of the family.
A major restoration of the 5-hectare (12-acre) hillside garden showcases year-round seasonal highlights and an award-winning plant collection. On the wider estate, footpaths lead out into the woodlands, Ashdown Forest and wider High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Note: Well behaved dogs on short leads are welcome in the formal gardens.
